Our Review:

We love the Little Rascals characters! Each one of them are so cute and funny. They always have good intentions when they come up with a plan but it backfires and they end up getting into trouble. Alfalfa is hilarious with his one piece of hair that sticks up in the back. I always tell my boys they look like Alfalfa when their hair is sticking up. One of my favorite parts of the whole movie is when the Rascals have the pet care business. The pet wash was an awesome idea and I loved it. They ended up dying all of the animals green including a cute little pig.

We also liked when they tried baking a red velvet cake with pieces of red velvet fabric. They end up adding too much yeast along with too much of every other ingredient. The look on the kids faces as the cake kept getting bigger and bigger was so funny. The cake gets really huge and then explodes with a little help from a fork. There are plenty of laughs in this movie. It's the perfect family film that everyone will love!

The Blu-ray special features include a gag real (which I always love to watch), deleted scenes and more!

Yoomi Review and Discount Code...



Thanks to yoomi, I am excited to tell you about their new 8oz Feeding System...


This awesome 3-in-1 feeding system is a premium easi-latch bottle, a travel warmer and a bedside warmer in one compact and stylish package...


At the touch of a button, yoomi warms baby's milk to the natural temperature of breast milk in just 60 seconds! It also includes the NEW super–quick charging pod to make feeding even easier.


 I love the nipple of the bottle and know baby will too! 


Here are a few of the many reasons we love this set...

The feeding system is super easy to use and warms up in just 60 seconds with the push of a button. It has a naturally shaped nipple for easy latch-on. I am very impressed with the 2 minute charging pod that's rechargeable up to 150 times.  The bottle is dishwasher safe, which is so important for a busy mom like me. This is perfect for feeding on-the-go or at night. We love that it warms up to breast milk temperature every time and stays warm for up to an hour!

With our first grand baby coming soon, we are very excited to use this! How brilliant that it warms up to the perfect temperature. We love the anti-colic vent system and that this bottle is 100% BPA free. 

Yoomi was created by Farah and Jim, a mom and dad whose experiences of bottle warming (stumbling around a kitchen at early hours and begging people for hot water when out and about) inspired them to look for a better solution. Farah’s inspiration, Jim’s engineering skills, and expert advice from friends and family has created yoomi, the bottle that warms your baby’s milk in just 60 seconds.
Fuelled by the success of the product in Europe, yoomi has come to America. You can find them on Twitter and Facebook!


Thank you so very much yoomi for the amazing products and customer service!!

Here's a special discount code for my readers:

Baby's Journey Always Ready Changing Station Review and Giveaway...

Always Ready Changing Station


Thanks to Baby's Journey we got to review some of their amazing products!

I was very excited when our Always Ready Changing Station got delivered...



What's so cool about this product? One of the many things is that it will let us keep all of our changing essentials right at our fingertips.


The changing station includes a contoured changing pad with an organization station that contains a wipes holder, diaper storage, night light and a compartment for other diapering essentials.


The space saver stand can be used on either a changing table or dresser and the built in night light is motion activated for all those nighttime changes.


I love how comfy the contoured pad is! Another great thing is that it's big enough to hold a baby up to age 2. It's going to be so fantastic having everything all together when it's time to change the baby. What a brilliant idea to have a motion activated night light. We are super impressed with the excellent quality of the Baby's Journey Always Ready Changing Station! Going to a baby shower and need a gift idea? This would be perfect and a must have for every baby's nursery! 

Also check out these adorable Measure Me Changing Pad Covers that are sold separately...





Measure Me™ Changing Pad Cover – Animal Party

Track your baby’s growth with every diaper change! Measure Me changing pad covers have a unique ruler design making it easy to see how big your little one is getting. Plus, the no slip grip safely keeps changing pads from moving on dresser tops.

We got the pink one since we just found out our first grand child is going to be a girl! It is so cute and super soft! The belt to hold baby safely is also great. I love that we can measure her growth with it.

Thank you so very much Baby's Journey for the fabulous products and customer service!!


Now here's the really exciting part...



I get to give one lucky winner an Always Ready Changing Station!! *(measure me changing pad cover not included)*

Delivery Man Blu-ray Review...


Delivery Man Delivers on Blu-ray™, DVD, Digital and On-Demand on March 25, 2014!
In this heartwarming comedy, underachiever David Wozniak (Vince Vaughn) learns he’s actually an overachiever — he’s fathered 533 children via donations made twenty years earlier! David soon discovers that the shock of his life might just be the best thing that’s ever happened to him. Along the way he discovers not only his true self, but also the father he could become. Also starring Chris Pratt and Cobie Smulders — and complete with bonus materials, including behind-the-scenes footage — it’s a feel-good movie that really delivers.
Bonus Features...
Building Family
Vince Vaughn- Off the Cuff
"I Got The Part"
Bloopers
Deleted Scene: You Are Under Arrest
Rated: PG-13
Release Date: March 25, 2014
Feature Run Time: Approx. 105-minutes



My Review:

Vince Vaughn does a great job in Delivery Man! His character David is down on his luck and life doesn't seem to be going like he had planned. With every move he makes he keeps disappointing the people closest to him. David finds out his girlfriend is pregnant then he gets the news that he is the father of over 500 children from previous donations. He decides it's time to make some changes in his life and be more responsible. He wants to be all of the kids guardian angel without them knowing he is their father. So he starts helping them out in different ways.

I liked when he ends up at a meeting with all of the kids who are trying to figure out who their dad is. Some of the kids had already met him (not knowing who he really is). He starts introducing them and how he knows them. One is a life guard and saved David's life, one is a drug addict that David saved her life, another worked at a coffee shop that got an acting job after being fired thanks to David. It was really funny watching him explain all this to each person he introduced. It was also really nice to see all of the brothers and sisters come together for a camp out and spend time getting to know each other.

There are some pretty great bonus features on the Blu-ray also. I like Vince Vaughn: off the cuff. It's fun watching him improv and just say whatever comes to his mind. He is so funny. There are bloopers, deleted scenes and more.

Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom.

This is our new favorite movie! We saw it in the theater and couldn't wait to get it on Blu-ray! It has romance, action, tons of comedy and makes you realize how important family is. Anna is willing to give up her own life to save her sister Elsa's life. Such a beautiful message about the power of a sisters love. Olaf the snowman was so hilarious he made me laugh so much that my cheeks hurt. I love it when Olaf said "I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs" and "some people are worth melting for, just maybe not right this second." All of the singing in the movie was fantastic! I really liked the song “Let It Go”. When Elsa is creating her ice castle and singing that song it just gives you the chills. You can feel all of the emotions she is going through. It was fun watching the romance between Kristoff and Anna. My family absolutely LOVES Frozen! 

The Blu-ray special features are also wonderful. I really liked the making of Frozen. It has deleted scenes and a short movie called "Get a Horse" plus much more!
